While he is the promoter of record Saturday night, Gerome Quigley will also see action on the card.

Quigley (15-0, 14 KOs) will square off against veteran James Wayka in a 10 round junior middleweight bout.

The 33-year-old Quigley fought four times in 2016, winning them all by knockout. Wayka (16-14-1, 8 KOs) is winless in his last eight bouts.
